Donald William Carlton Bird was an English professional footballer who played at outside left. He was born in Newton Abbot. Although born in Devon, Bird came to prominence playing in Wales for local side Llandrindod Wells, from where he joined Cardiff City in 1929, scoring on his home debut in a 5-1 win over Bury on the final day of the 1929-30 season. Unable to oust Walter Robbins from the side, he later moved to Bury, but failed to make their league side and joined Torquay United in 1932 as a replacement for Harry Waller. Bird missed just two games for Torquay the following season and remained a regular until leaving to join Derby County in the summer of 1934 as cover for Dally Duncan.show more
